The only saving grace is I won't have to look at those 'Irish football team' shirts for much longer. Let's hope the emerald green was an aberration!

It’s not my taste either but it’s sold out in all junior sizes, and when I take my lad on a Sunday fat more kids are wearing that shirt than I’ve seen of any other shirt over the years, and targeting young new fans is exactly what the club should be doing to secure the future fan base. Let’s face it you and me are not going to stop being fans just cause of the shirt they wear, but if they gain fans cause of it, I happy for them to wear any shirt they fancy, ill always stick to my next shirt any way.

This is as bad as the Geordan years. We are truly rubbish at the moment.

I'd say worse as we've had years to sort the rubbish and we haven't.
Miss too many opportunities every match through poor decision making and not playing heads up rugby. We're too one dimensional. Kick offs are the same week after week.....poor and put us under pressure as teams run the ball back.

15 years ago is calling, it wants it's ideas back.

Listen to the more recent Cole and Youngs podcast with Lawes. Lawes talks about how Vesty hates players going off the cuff and that he wants them to stay in the shape as that's how you can link and develop phases.

We look all done in at 59 mins!

Even Jasper is just doing stupid things like when he first joined us...

I think its clearly frustration with Jasper, he obviously wants to go out on a high but its just not happening

[westwinds31]

How many offsides ?

[Tigers86asw]

Again our fitness looks dreadful

Agreed, I had some slight concerns with the changes in our S&C team when Aled left, I know it was an almost impossible task to follow but there's been a really big drop off

Agreed- we have no stamina and the team has little pace as it is. So annoying as you would think that is something you should be getting right.

[kpj tiger]

Its still staggering that we've been so poor this season but yet a couple different bounces of the ball and we could still have been sneaking the playoffs

[daktari]

Thing is we never look like coming close to winning a match. It soul destroying watching total lack of structure week in week out

[Pellsey]

Or slightly fewer injuries... but our defence is, or at least was the best in the league.

As was said, we are missing fitness and attack.

This is the most important aspect, and I've not heard anything to suggest Tiger ss coaching staff acknowledge it or have plans to rectify.

At least we didn't do anything silly like picking players who performed against Black Lion or trying combinations that might be needed next season. This is much better.

[OakhamTiger32]

Wow.. we really have nothing..

[kpj tiger]

I love how two Sale players go off their feet, then one of ours does and we get penalized

[Tigers86asw]

That passage sums up the whole season.

Poor lineout.

Poor from JVP- twice! Offside- penalty try- yellow card- ruddy brilliant!
